Openmoko Beagle Hybrid

From Openmoko

This project provides a PCB extension board and software to combine a Beagle Board with a Freerunner compatible display and case.

The goal is to provide a demonstrator and experimentation platform how a future modern state-of the art Openmoko device with ARM-Cortex A8 and UMTS could be (neglecting miniaturization). This allows to develop software and new user interfaces. When packing the board into a Freerunner case, one can provide sound (microphone, earset, speaker) and vibracall.

What it is good for

experimenting with touchscreen and new user interfaces on Beagleboard

learn how the OMAP3530 design works

make it a mobile application development platform by adding a battery pack and a UMTS usb stick

investigate how an Openmoko with UMTS and OMAP3530 feels (not from haptics but screen operation and UMTS speed)
